(3) YA In fourteenth-century Italy, Silvano, accused of murder, hides in a friary. There he falls in love with Chiara, whose brother sent her to a convent against her will. The writing in this mystery/romance is rich and stylish (though readers uninterested in Italian fresco painting may think some passages drag). The well-realized setting will enthrall fans of medieval fiction.
